DECODING COMPLEXITY

The theme that guides the content presented is Decoding Complexity, the aim of which is to identify and explore the limitless opportunities to be found at the intersections of sectors, industries and technologies. Reinforcing its position as a platform for the acceleration of the global entrepreneurial community, South Summit Brazil seeks, during the three days of the event, to explore the opportunities that collaboration provides, and the value that can be obtained from synergies between different sectors.


We live in an increasingly interconnected world, where the impact of our interdependence is felt. Change never stops. The interconnected nature of our world has made everything more complex, and the generation of and access to information expands almost exponentially. Trends, technologies and even sectors have become cross-cutting, creating layer after layer of richness, depth and opportunity. Complexity is difficult, but it is also beautiful and forms the basis for almost limitless possibilities. The (sustainable and inclusive) products and services that help us navigate this complexity and harness its power will thrive, exposing the tools and solutions we have at hand which will help us build the next chapter. Connections help us navigate this complex world. We want to explore these intersections, because we know that that’s where the magic happens. Let’s decode our next opportunity.
